Survivor Samoa (episode 4)

Following a heated tribal council (Bye bye, Ben!) everyone's nerves were a little on edge, especially Jaison's. During his private one-on-one he said, "I believe coming here was the worst decision I've ever made in my life." Wow. I was stunned. He's really letting this game (or more accurately, the people playing it) get to him. Get it together, Jaison!

Meanwhile, Bulldog Russell smelled blood in the water. "I'm willing to get rid of Jaison. Who ever I want to be gone will be gone," Russell said, arrogantly, as usual. Yeah, we'll see about that, Bulldog.

Erik and John worked Shambo to share her clues about the hidden immunity idol, which she did. Dumb move, Shambo! As soon as Erik had the chance, he began looking around camp and, surprise, surprise, he found the idol. I give Erik and Russell props for finding the thing (Russell even more so because he did it without clues), but I'm bummed out that the producers didn't make the idol harder to uncover. It sort of takes the fun out of seeing people scramble to find it.

At the reward challenge, a sort of makeshift bocce ball/horseshoes game, Nick nailed his last-ditch throw and won it for Galu. Their reward: live chickens. (Hey, where was Jeff? Catching up on his beauty sleep?) Back at camp, Shambo became some sort of "chicken whisperer," or so she thought, clucking and talking to them like she was one with the chickens. Then she promptly let one escape. Duh.

At the immunity challenge, the teams raced to build enormous towers of blocks. At the end it was neck and neck, and Foa Foa finally won immunity. It's about time! At last, Galu was going to get a taste of tribal council. Although Russell S. wanted Monica gone because she slowed the team down during the challenge, his tribemates had it out for someone else, Yasmin. Russell S. thought the tribe should do what he wanted because he's the captain. Ha! Russell, you have seen Survivor, right? When all was said and done, Yasmin got the boot because she didn't help out at camp. I'm with Russell on this one: I don't see the logic in voting out a strong competitor. What's more important? A nice camp or winning immunity? —Angela Ebron
